The Devio CR-1 is the hub that creates a desktop-like experience away from the desk, allowing you to connect to the AV technology in a meeting room simply by connecting your laptop to a USB 3.0 cable. Connecting to the CR-1 gets your laptop connected to the Devio beamforming microphone, the loudspeaker installed in the room, and one or two displays for sharing content locally, and offers multiple USB ports for attaching computer peripherals like a web camera for video conferencing. Acoustic Echo Cancellation and automatic gain control technology ensures everyone participating in the meeting can hear and be heard. With the laptop handling the connection to conferencing systems, Devio works easily with a host of conferencing solutions including Microsoft Skype for Business (Microsoft Lync®) and Microsoft Skype®, Citrix GoToMeeting®, Cisco WebEx®, and Google Hangouts™.
